MELBOURNEfc today delisted defender Ryan Ferguson from its senior list as the Club prepares for its 2008 season.

Originally a fifth round selection (Pick 66) in the 2002 National Draft, Ferguson played 47 games over his five years at the Club, and was renowned for his fearless attack on the ball. Named as Best First Year Player in 2003, Ferguson was a dual Sandringham premiership player (2004 and 2006), and won the Troy Broadbridge Memorial Trophy in 2007 for being the highest Melbourne listed vote getter in Sandringham’s Best and Fairest.

Craig Cameron, General Manager of Recruiting and List Management said, “We would like to thank Ryan for his five years of service to the Melbourne Football Club. His courageous play was always an asset for us down back, and we wish him all the very best for his future endeavours.”

Thats the polite way of saying wasn't good enough at AFL level.

Mark Jamar must be breathing a little easier tonight.

I'll spew if he goes to Hawthorn......

Very surprised to hear about Fergusson...but I thought Jamar (along with Miller) both got new 2 year contracts. I might be wrong but that's what I'd heard.!!!

That's a myth that exists on Demonland. Hawks never wanted any part of it and people carry on like it was a missed opportunity.

Still not as bad as the recurring myth that Brad Miller beat Barry Hall that night at the SCG. Hall kicked 2.4, it should have been 5 or 6.

it is a shame that trade didn't happen... sewell is winning B&Fs, fergie is getting delisted...

so this gives us 6 selections in the drafts, 5 in the national draft plus 1 in the PSD...

you always gave your all fergie, got the most out of yourself... good luck, hope you get picked up somewhere...

Always incredibly courageous, and always tried his hardest, but unfortunately was not good enough to cut it as a KPP in the AFL.

Good luck to him in the future.

Got to echo those sentiments, Jaded.

If more of our blokes had an attitude like his, to compliment their talent, we would be a far fiercer team (as well as having a far more extensive injury list :P Who knew it was possible?)

I agree with Craig.......

So thank you Ryan for your unquestioning efforts for this club.

We all respected your courage and and with you good luck with whatever you choose to do in the future.

And amen to that Diablo :) !!!

Jamar already had a 2 year contract so it would be same same with him.

What the hell would the Hawks do with Ferg given their side??

Always incredibly courageous, and always tried his hardest, but unfortunately was not good enough to cut it as a KPP in the AFL.

Good luck to him in the future.

Agree Jaded.

Good luck Fergs

thanks Ryan

It's also a myth that exists on AFL.com.au. I quote -

"Interestingly, Ferguson was almost traded to Hawthorn several seasons ago in a deal that would have landed 2007 Hawk best-and-fairest winner Brad Sewell at the Demons."

Well said. He had great courage and a good mark which is probably why he got drafted but his awareness and lack of speed always let him down.

- Best wishes Ferg.

I guess now i have to change my profile name... Any ideas.

fergo was 300 weight session and 25kgs short of being a solid player. I watched him read the play, and always thought to myself "when he bulks up, he will be a great backman". Sadly he never bulked up, and injuries and time just wore him down.

I wish Fergo the best of luck elsewhere.

I am happy to see that Dean Bailey is removing the deadwood at the MFC. These de-listings are unfortunately about two years too late, but I suppose better late than never.

Fergs, I always admired your courage and your heart could never be questioned. I sincerely hope to see you succeed at another club .... all the best mate.

Disappointed we couldn't get a pick 90 for him.

Get the feeling because he wouldn't go to Hawthorn in the trade for Sewell, he was on borrowed time. Probably a bad decision By Ferg not to go as he could have probably got a 3 year deal with Hawks.

TBO, I didn't mind Ferguson. For whatever reason, Daniher had it in for him, and was the only player i've heard Daniher publicly criticize. Whereas Nicholson was given chance after chance, Ferguson was always the 1st one dropped.

Wouldn't be surprised if another club picked him up in the PSD.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
